Cover & shake the jar and observe the settling of the materials in the jar.

Which statement is TRUE?

Earthquakes most frequently occur along plate boundaries.

How do plant roots assist with weathering?

They grow in cracks to break apart rocks

A scientist proposes that these two mountain ranges were once part of one landmass. Which are true?

The type and age of rocks in both mountain ranges are evidence, The outlines of North America and Europe are evidence

If someone uses a candle to show how igneous rocks form, which statement is most correct?

Melt the candle in a dish, then let the melted wax cool and harden.

Which statement is FALSE?

Hawaii is the largest island; therefore, it is the oldest.

How can volcanoes form? Select all that apply.

The plates separate and form a rift, through which magma flows up., The plates collide, and the subducting plate melts, forcing lava upward., Magma rises at mantle plumes, which builds to form an island.

What is happening in the picture?

Water freezes and ice breaks the ground

Which statement is TRUE?
Earthquakes rarely occur along plate boundaries.
Earthquakes only occur along plate boundaries.
Earthquakes most frequently occur along plate boundaries.
Earthquakes never occur along plate boundaries.
4
How do plant roots assist with weathering?
They melt minerals in rocks
They grind and polish rocks
They do NOT assist with weathering
They grow in cracks to break apart rocks
5
A scientist proposes that these two mountain ranges were once part of one landmass. Which are true?
The type and age of rocks in both mountain ranges are evidence
The heights of both mountain ranges are evidence
The outlines of North America and Europe are evidence
The climates of South American and Europe are evidence.
6
If someone uses a candle to show how igneous rocks form, which statement is most correct?
Melt the candle in a dish, then let the melted wax cool and harden.
Place books on top of the candle to apply pressure until it flattens.
Break the candle into small pieces and press the pieces together.
Melt the candle in a dish on a hotplate and keep it in liquid form.
7

away from each other
towards each other
they do not move
up and down
8

water
wind
9
What can be caused by earthquakes in the ocean?
tsunami
landslide
volcano
hurricane
10
Which statement is FALSE?
The plate is moving towards the north.
A volcano becomes extinct as the plate slowly moves away from the hot spot.
Hawaii is the largest island; therefore, it is the oldest.
Maui is closer to the hot spot; therefore, Kauai is older.
11
How can volcanoes form? Select all that apply.
The plates separate and form a rift, through which magma flows up.
The plates collide, and the subducting plate melts, forcing lava upward.
Magma rises at mantle plumes, which builds to form an island.
The friction caused by plates sliding past each other melts rocks.

Water freezes and ice breaks the ground
Roots are breaking the ground
Nothing
16
Why do these fossils support the theory that these continents were once joined but moved apart over time?
Glossopteris was found everywhere so scientists explain how plates move.
The locations create a pattern so scientists predict how plates will move.
Fossils form in sedimentary rocks; scientists can see how all rocks formed.
Scientists can conclude that these continents were once connected.
17
Which is the best explanation for the existence of glaciers at these locations 250 million years ago.
The continents were once near a polar region where glaciers could form.
Ice age in the southern hemisphere caused the glaciers to form.
The climate at the locations shown supports the formation of glaciers now.
Glaciers used to cover the Earth and what is shown is what's left over.
